    On my 1997 Grand Prix GT Coupe the Control Arm Bushing is bad, left side, right side, more than one, I don't know. Steering Control Arm Bushing or Suspension, guess I need to find out - thinking of this as I type... It got an oil change today and they did an estimate for this. I will look at it tonight.

    I want to ask if this is hard to replace? But I guess I'll crawl under it tonight and look for myself. The estimate showed the part to be only about $15 but labor was over $100. I have not seen this estimate yet.

    Today I drove the 2003 Grand Prix GT and found an issue with it - I'll post another thread. I normally drive my 2000 Expedition - I drive it wishing I was driving a Grand Prix...

    hmm, maybe I can take it off the car, then bring it to work and press it out? Guess I'll have to look at it tonight!
